So according to chatgpt (i know), I never charge to 100%, I can't remember the last time I did, so its telling me to rebalance my battery. but its saying to let the car rest at 100% for a few hours, this seems contradictory?
TipWhy it helps
? Occasionally charge to 100%Enables the system to detect and equalize cell voltages properly.
? Let the car rest at 100% for a few hours (e.g., overnight while plugged in)Balancing usually happens during idle time, not during charging itself.
? Don’t always stick to 80–85%Staying too long at mid-range SoC can prevent balancing from ever being triggered.
? Check cell voltages (via OBDeleven or other tools)Useful if you’re tracking battery health or think you might have an imbalance
Since you correctly don't charge to 100%, your BMS do not know exactly where is the real 100%. Balancing makes it closer. That is why your reported SoH will be better after the balancing procedure.
Doing it couple of times a year will not harm your battery significantly but will offer you more correct soH %.

1) unknown
2) 85.1%
3) 30k miles
4) only charge at home
5) 2020 turbo s

is this bad or reasonable degradation?
I think this is reasonable degradation for the age and miles. I think you can gain at least 2% after a rebalance.

4) Charge at home but I use DC on trips, and previous owner (2020-2023) may have DC charged more?
5) 2020 Turbo

I just checked my state of health today after a short trip and my battery was at 59% state of charge after a long trip yesterday and two DCFC sessions yesterday. Great news…


1) Delivery Soh - unknown
2) Current SoH 89.54 as reported by Car Scanner Pro
3) Current mileage 99,331 mi 145,460 km
4) kWh DC charging 20,866kWh L2 12,891
5) Build date Aug 2020
1/3 of a penny/mile seems efficient, until you factor in the 4 sets of tires. ;)
But what I am truly pleased with is 10.46% drop in SoH with over 90k miles.

I just checked my state of health this morning after restoring my SoC from 22 to 85% in the garage 48A hard wired ChargePoint Home Flex. Car still DCFC at 260+kW when preconditioned. Great news…


1) Delivery Soh - unknown
2) Current SoH 86.36 as reported by Car Scanner Pro
3) Current mileage 100,990 mi 162,625 km
4) kWh DC charging 22,202kWh L2 15,762
5) Build date Aug 2020
<$0.01/mile seems efficient, until you factor in the 5 sets of tires. ;)
But what I am truly pleased with is 13.6% drop in SoH with over 100k miles with significant DCFC.

That is quite an impressive health in your car @ron_b . Your Taycan must be one of the most used one as well. Great to hear.

Not sure why, but my SOH appears to be improving with age and mileage
